Working together to examine deeply-rooted fears, emotions, and patterns from the past, we can diffuse their power so that you can build a future more aligned with your goals and values. My aim is to find what works for each unique person, and to create a non-judgmental, exploratory space where people feel safe to say whatever surfaces. The goal of treatment is to spark transformation toward healing by cultivating awareness of your innate strengths, supporting your search for meaning and authenticity, increasing your sense of connection to others, and building your capacity to cope with difficult feelings.

What does the shape of our lives reveal about our ideologies and our narrative of reality? How does psychotherapy help us examine this? The analytic space is dedicated to moving beyond the pressures of institutions and societal constraints that preexist us in order to seek the particular desires and needs in each of us. In treatment, we confront ourselves and our unique experience of the world so that we can explore possibilities for transformation. I am attuned to how one’s suffering may intersect with intimate relationships, inherited traumas, and systemic oppression. I welcome patients from diverse and non-normative backgrounds.

So many of us are tormented by the question: "What's wrong with me?" I can tell you before meeting you — there is nothing wrong with you. We are all adapting to try to meet our human needs. When those are not met emotional chaos or numbing can leave us stuck. We will identify ways you wish to grow through examining your past experiences. Some possible areas of growth include communication with others, self-compassion, identifying your needs, and living authentically.

Crossroads, life transitions, and changing situations can overwhelm us and get in the way of our ability to cope. In therapy, we explore the inner drives, motivations, conflicts, and entrenched narratives that may hinder our ability to manage life’s difficulties and connect with others. Sessions with me facilitate development of a stronger relationship with oneself, understanding ones patterns and desires to foster self-esteem and acceptance.

Do you feel a sense of disconnect or a longing for something more fulfilling? Struggling with relationship issues, navigating life transitions, or managing the pressure to meet expectations at the expense of your emotional well-being? I work with children of immigrants, young professionals, and couples experiencing stress and dissatisfaction in their personal and professional lives. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can share your concerns, explore your emotions, and work towards healing. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and help you build stronger connections, with yourself and others.

Perhaps you are struggling to connect with someone you love. Maybe life feels out of alignment with your hopes or values, or your days are plagued by an undercurrent of anxiety, fear, or discontent, and you don’t understand why. As a therapist, I work with children, adults, adolescents, and couples facing these and other isolating and frustrating experiences. We will help you identify what keeps you stuck and work together toward healing. Growth can take many forms––deeper interpersonal relationships, newfound meaning in the everyday, or a greater sense of peace and belonging.

People seek therapy because they are suffering. Your suffering may take the form of anxiety, depression, grief, or anger. It may stem from questions about relationships, career, sex, or gender-identity. I will not offer you a one-size-fits-all approach to any issue. Instead, I will open up a space that allows you to speak freely about your experience. I will listen intently and without judgment. Together, we will work towards a richer and more joyful life.

With recognition that language may not be confined to the word, my work is to listen, and while history is written, what is said now and next can change. Psychoanalysis works to resolve repetitions in dreams, habits, and interactions. This can be difficult and surprising, and have a significant effect on your symptoms, anxieties, and capacity to participate and find joy in work and social life.

Our desire is not always clear and can paralyze us. This can create discomfort or suffering that we don't really understand or can't make sense of. Our jobs, friends, families and relationships can suffer because of this. I work with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, panic, overwhelming feelings or moods, and obsessional compulsions amongst others. I also work with people going through changes or periods of questioning in their identity and sexuality.

When someone seeks psychotherapy, it is to address questions, suffering, a dissatisfaction, unmooredness, or a desire for something to be different.

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, restless, or just stuck, and are unsure how to feel better, know you're not alone. Navigating complexities such as anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, and (re)discovering your purpose can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be a solo endeavor. I'm here to support individuals of all ages and walks of life, with particular attunement to young adults adjusting to and managing the stressors of college, post-grad, and the unique challenges of city life.

It can be challenging to process all sorts of mixed emotions, as they wear you down in your personal and professional life. You may even begin to have self-doubts, struggling to move forward with your goals. The process of navigating these challenges on your own can be confusing, drowning, and overwhelming. I will work with you to build a collective space where we explore your concerns together, understand your emotions, and help you reestablish meaningful connections with others. I see therapy as interactions where you will be empowered to confront reality and appreciate yourself as a whole.

Our lives are woven with stories—the tales inherited from others (relatives, social and professional circles) and the ones we craft for ourselves...and life happens. Juggling familial duties, chronic pain, toxic environments, life or career transitions, the experience of loss, harassment, trauma, or cultural disconnection challenge our inner narrative. It interferes with our ability to mend the threads of our stories, to fully express ourselves and flourish. In my practice, I assist patients in untangling their stories, finding new perspectives/meaning, and actively pursuing aspirations.

I believe therapy offers a space to understand the complexity of your emotions, allowing you to reflect on patterns and make conscious decisions about your life. Whether you are navigating stress, trauma, life transitions, or relationship difficulties, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and build resilience. My aim as a therapist is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I see talk therapy as a vital tool to help us build the lives we want and the world we desire. It’s my pleasure to work with adults and teens seeking a greater sense of purpose, freedom, and joy in daily life, and those looking for a sense of intimacy and trust to anchor their explorations. With patience and warm interest, I invite you to bring your curiosity to bear on whatever lives inside you: anxiety, loneliness, envy, anger, grief, and other inconvenient feelings. When we unearth the parts of ourselves we’ve kept hidden, we can reckon with their powerful undertow and harness their energy to transform our lives for the better.

I work with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, and addiction. I also help with issues around careers, desire, and creative work. Many experience feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of direction, which often affect their relationships with others and their work, family, and romantic lives. My sessions involve focused talk therapy. By unpacking personal narratives—including day-to-day feelings—we aim to understand the underlying forces in these stories. I use a psychoanalytic approach influenced by Lacan and Freud, focusing on how the unconscious shapes behavior.

Life today can create a chronic sense of overwhelm resulting from constant stimulation and expectations. It may feel difficult to keep up with the pressure to maintain productivity, composure, and a steady sense of self. The therapeutic space can serve as a place to explore these anxieties and release yourself from external pressures. Our symptoms can arise out of the conflict between what we feel we are expected to be vs. who we really are. I work with children, teens, and adults and I am dedicated to hearing my clients in way that can alleviate suffering and promote long-lasting change.
